Music Library Help please (Artist/Album.nfo)

Does anyone know how to properly get album reviews or artist bio info to display via nfo/id3 tagging? I've been at this for days now and I'm freaking losing my mind. It seems xbmc is "video library biased," and the music library is difficult to get info for.

I've gone through and made sure that all of my folders are nice and neat (choosing to go the artist/album route), so I've got Folder.jpg/tbn for each respective folder to get the thumbs/fanart to show. I originally went through and made new .nfo files for the album folders only to find that it's impossible to get reviews or bios (using music nfo builder if it matters)...

I stumbled upon this --http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files/Music-- but It seems painstakingly horrible to make an nfo like this (especially album to album with 100+), and I can't seem to make the bottom part work whatsoever (1.2 Music .nfo files containing an URL). Anybody have a method or system of getting all artist/album/song info to display? Any help would be greatly appreciated, TIA

I have been using media monkey to scrape the info on my pc before ftp'ing to my xbox as xbmc usually scrapes the wrong info.
